Intelligent Choice Beauty & Wellness Centre
Safety is paramount when it comes to toxic
chemicals.
This is something we at Intelligent Choice Beauty & Wellness Centre have taken on board.
On July 4th 2006, Intelligent Choice Beauty & Wellness Centre opened it's doors with our focus on avoiding the use of Toxic Chemicals where ever possible. and specialising in the use of Herbal Colours.
"The Herb Colour range of herbal hair colours have very few chemicals so they're a lot safer then other products on the market"
We've opened the clinic to offer a safer alternative for people. along with friendly and professional service.
There are over 800 potentially harmful ingredients in personal care products, but here in our centre we use a range of products that have been certified "safe" by Dr Samuel Epstein, Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition.
There is a lot of controversy out there about this particular subject, however, our motto is better safe than sorry!
The proprietor, Teresa Hay, has experienced first hand the chemically harmful effects of these toxic hair and beauty products. Some of the side effects have included headaches, head spins, bloating & asthma. Having experienced chronic toxic overload from beauty & hair product, we can assure you it's not something you want to experience! This has left Teresa determined to provide safe, but effective products for our clients!
At Intelligent Choice Beauty & Wellness Centre we avoid the use of potentially harmful products. We only use the safest, most effective products we can source so people can come in and feel they are getting the best and safest treatment.
